Review: Mighty Mule EZGO-SOLAR
The Mighty Mule
Since 1987, the folks at Mighty Mule have been responsible for some of the best automatic gate openers on the planet. Their gate opener technology has been incredibly flexible and adaptable to a wide range of situations, scenarios and installations. They offer the individuals with the option of installing their own automatic gate opener without have to call in the professionals to handle them. This certainly saves money, right? The powerful Mule also offers a 12 months warranty and tech support is free of charge. The company GTO is an American company located in the state of Florida, but unfortunately the origin of the products is the country which makes almost everything around us – yes, you guessed right – China.
Mighty Mule EZGO-SOLAR Gate Opener Solar Kit
This gate opening device is made perfectly for various gate types including ornamental, chain link, panel, tube, vinyl and wood. Beside this the best thing about is that you can install it yourself, without the need to call and overpriced electrician. An ideal Do It Yourself product which also includes an interactive DVD which can aid your installation. Another thing is that for twelve months you are secured with warranty and technical support (this might be short but better something than nothing). Other Mighty Mule models such as fm500, or Mighty Mule fm200 have the same advantages.
Look inside the box
When you look inside the box of the Ezgo-Solar model you will find a complete gate opener package, no surprise there, followed by 2 remotes (EZ235) and guess what a 1 5-watt solar panel (EZ221) and…..well that’s it. But it’s enough, all that you need.
